Big thanks to Wendy & Sue for covering class while I was at my son's wedding!
I have a daughter in law ❤
This week Sue will teaching these 2 watercolor pieces.
Here's what she shared about the class.
Watercolor Playday
Welcome to Watercolor Playday! Today you will experiment with a variety of watercolor types after stamping a large image. Below are some samples--you will have two to choose from, as well as several styles of backing sheets. Because the stamps are oversized, the backing papers are, too—you could make cards out of these, but they would require large cardstock to fold and would cost more to send. This might be a good card for someone you see in person. Or it just could be your work of art.
Materials to bring:
Double sided tape OR glue stick
Gold and black edgers
Small brush with water container OR water brush
Small scissors
Paper trimmer
Thanks Sue for a great class!
Wendy will be teaching this stunning card today.
You'll use Yupo, alcohol inks, die cuts and partial heat embossing.
This card is packed with techniques!
This card uses
Alcohol ink, stream, gold mixative & snow cap
It's my favorite time of year Balloon Fiesta!
Using this new stamp from Crafty Individual and
a very old stamp from Stampscapes we have a wonderful scene.
